Local 12: What researchers say we should know about heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccine

An advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is looking into reports that some teenagers and young adults who have received the COVID-19 vaccine have experienced heart inflammation. They are reviewing these cases to see if there's a possible connection.

The CDC is looking into what is being described as a handful of reports of myocarditis, or heart inflammation, after vaccination.
